Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen reparierbaren Fahrzeugscheinwerfer, insbesondere Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfer, umfassend ein Scheinwerfergehäuse mit einem das Innere des Scheinwerfergehäuses umschließenden Scheinwerfergehäuseöffnungsrand, sowie zumindest eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckscheibe zum Verschließen des Scheinwerfergehäuses, wobei die Abdeckscheibe aus Polycarbonat besteht und an ihrer von dem Scheinwerfergehäuse abgewandten Außenseite eine Hardcoating-Beschichtung aufweist.The invention relates to a repairable vehicle headlight, in particular a motor vehicle headlight, comprising a headlight housing with a headlight housing opening edge enclosing the interior of the headlight housing, and at least one translucent cover disc for closing the headlight housing, the cover disc being made of polycarbonate and having a hard coating on its outside facing away from the headlight housing having.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind unterschiedlichste Arten von Konstruktionen für Scheinwerfer bekannt geworden. Insbesondere Fahrzeugscheinwerfer in der Automobilindustrie müssen auch unter besonderes harten Umweltbedingungen zuverlässig funktionieren. Sie sind einem breiten Temperaturspektrum, mechanischen und chemischen Einflüssen als auch Änderungen von Luftfeuchtigkeit oder Druck ausgesetzt. Um zu vermeiden, dass Feuchtigkeit in Scheinwerfer eindringt und so beispielsweise die Abdeckscheibe innen beschlägt, werden Scheinwerfergehäuse oft durch die Abdeckscheibe völlig dicht verschlossen, und zwar so, dass die Abdeckscheibe später nicht mehr abgenommen werden kann. Die Verbindung der Abdeckscheibe mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse ist dabei permanent, d.h. die Abdeckscheibe kann nicht zerstörungsfrei von dem Gehäuse abgenommen werden.The most varied types of constructions for headlights have become known from the prior art. In particular, vehicle headlights in the automotive industry must function reliably even under particularly harsh environmental conditions. They are exposed to a wide range of temperatures, mechanical and chemical influences as well as changes in humidity or pressure. In order to prevent moisture from penetrating into headlights and thus for example fogging up the inside of the cover pane, headlight housings are often sealed completely tightly by the cover pane in such a way that the cover pane can no longer be removed later. The connection between the cover panel and the headlight housing is permanent, i.e. the cover panel cannot be removed from the housing without destroying it.
Bei den wenigen Scheinwerfern, bei denen die Abdeckscheibe hingegen abnehmbar gestaltet ist, stellt sich das Problem, dass die Abdeckscheibe bei der Abnahme aufgrund ihrer Sprödheit leicht brechen kann. Zudem besteht das Risiko, dass im Falle der Abnahme der Abdeckscheibe sichtbare Bereiche wie z.B. Designblendenelemente berührt werden und daran z.B. Fingerabdrücke später sichtbar sind.In the case of the few headlights in which the cover pane is designed to be removable, on the other hand, the problem arises that the cover pane can easily break when it is removed due to its brittleness. There is also a risk that when the cover panel is removed, visible areas such as design panel elements will be touched and e.g. fingerprints will be visible on them later.
Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht daher darin, einen reparierbaren Fahrzeugscheinwerfer zu schaffen, der die genannten Nachteile überwindet.One object of the invention is therefore to create a repairable vehicle headlight that overcomes the disadvantages mentioned.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem reparierbaren Fahrzeugscheinwerfer der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, indem dieser erfindungsgemäß ein mit der Abdeckscheibe fest und dichtend verbundenes Adapterelement aufweist, wobei das Adapterelement eine zu dem Scheinwerfergehäuseöffnungsrand korrespondierende Kontur aufweist, sodass das Adapterelement formschließend auf den Scheinwerfergehäuseöffnungsrand anbringbar ist, wodurch im angebrachten Zustand das Adapterelement gemeinsam mit der Abdeckscheibe das Scheinwerfergehäuse verschließt, wobei das Adapterelement dergestalt ausgebildet ist, dass der Scheinwerfergehäuserand in jedem Punkt zumindest 10 mm von der Abdeckscheibe beabstandet ist, wobei zwischen dem Adapterelement und dem Scheinwerfergehäuserand eine lösbare Abdichtung vorgesehen ist, sodass das Adapterelement mitsamt der Abdeckscheibe von dem Scheinwerfergehäuserand durch Lösen der Abdichtung gelöst werden kann, wobei an dem Adapterelement zumindest ein lichtundurchlässiges Designelement angeordnet ist, das mit dem Adapterelement fest verbunden ist und dazu eingerichtet ist, zumindest einen Teil des die Lichtaustrittsfläche des zumindest einen Lichtmoduls umgebenden Bereichs des Fahrzeugscheinwerfergehäuses zu verdecken, wobei die Form und die Größe des zumindest einen Designelements dabei dergestalt gewählt ist, dass eine Projektion des Designelements, gesehen in Richtung der Fahrzeuglängsachse, auf die Abdeckscheibe zumindest 10% der Fläche der Abdeckscheibe erfasst.This object is achieved with a repairable vehicle headlight of the type mentioned by this invention having a fixed and sealingly connected to the cover adapter element, wherein the adapter element to the Has a contour corresponding to the edge of the headlight housing opening, so that the adapter element can be attached to the edge of the headlight housing opening in a form-fitting manner, whereby in the attached state the adapter element closes the headlight housing together with the cover plate, the adapter element being designed in such a way that the edge of the headlight housing is spaced at least 10 mm from the cover plate at every point , wherein a detachable seal is provided between the adapter element and the edge of the headlight housing, so that the adapter element together with the cover plate can be detached from the edge of the headlight housing by loosening the seal, wherein at least one opaque design element is arranged on the adapter element, which is firmly connected to the adapter element and is set up to cover at least part of the area of the vehicle headlight housing surrounding the light exit surface of the at least one light module, the shape and size of the at least one design element being selected in such a way that a projection of the design element, seen in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis, onto the Cover plate covers at least 10% of the surface of the cover plate.
Auf diese Weise wird die abnehmbare Abdeckscheibe stabilisiert und sichergestellt, dass Designelemente während der Arbeit an Komponenten des Scheinwerfers nicht versehentlich berührt werden, da diese gemeinsam mit der Abdeckscheibe abgenommen werden. Das Designelement könnte sogar einstückig mit Adapterelement ausgebildet sein bzw. aus einem Guss stammen. Die Designelemente können nicht nur für das Fahrzeugscheinwerferdesign eingesetzt werden, sondern auch dazu genutzt werden, dahinter angeordnete Scheinwerferkomponenten, insbesondere mechanisch wirksame Elemente, zu verdecken. Auch entfällt durch den Einsatz des Adapterelements die Notwendigkeit, bei einer Scheinwerferreparatur diesen direkt an der Abdeckscheibe anzugreifen, wodurch die Hardcoating-Beschichtung zerkratzt werden könnte. Das Adapterelement dient daher als mechanische Angriffsfläche um eine für die Scheinwerferöffnung erforderliche Kraft auf den Scheinwerfer auszuüben.This stabilizes the removable cover lens and ensures that design elements are not accidentally touched while working on components of the headlight as they are removed together with the cover lens. The design element could even be designed in one piece with the adapter element or come from one piece. The design elements can be used not only for the vehicle headlight design, but also to cover headlight components arranged behind them, in particular mechanically effective elements. The use of the adapter element also eliminates the need to grip the cover plate directly when repairing a headlight, as a result of which the hard coating could be scratched. The adapter element therefore serves as a mechanical contact surface in order to exert a force on the headlight that is required for opening the headlight.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das zumindest eine Designelement an seiner Oberfläche eine metallische Beschichtung aufweist. Die Beschichtung kann z.B. aus Aluminium, rostfreiem Stahl, Silber, Gold oder Kupfer bestehen.In particular, it can be provided that the at least one design element has a metallic coating on its surface. The coating can consist of aluminum, stainless steel, silver, gold or copper, for example.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass die lösbare Abdichtung als eine einstückige Gummidichtung, insbesondere in Form einer Dichtungslippe, ausgebildet ist, wobei der Scheinwerfergehäuseöffnungsrand durch eine weitgehend ebene Konturfläche ausgebildet ist, sodass die Gummidichtung flächig auf dem Scheinwerfergehäuseöffnungsrand des Scheinwerfergehäuses aufliegt.Furthermore, it can be provided that the detachable seal is designed as a one-piece rubber seal, in particular in the form of a sealing lip, with the headlight housing opening edge being formed by a largely flat contour surface, so that the rubber seal lies flat on the headlight housing opening edge of the headlight housing.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die lösbare Abdichtung durch eine lösbare Klebeschicht ausgebildet ist, wobei als Kleber zur Ausbildung der lösbaren Klebeschicht ein chemisch oder durch Wärmezufuhr lösbarerer Klebstoff vorgesehen ist.In particular, it can be provided that the detachable seal is formed by a detachable adhesive layer, with an adhesive being provided as the adhesive for forming the detachable adhesive layer, which can be released chemically or by the supply of heat.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Klebstoff ein durch Wärmezufuhr lösbarer Klebstoff ist, wobei die Schmelztemperatur des Klebers zwischen 100°C und 150°C beträgt.Furthermore, it can be provided that the adhesive is an adhesive that can be detached by supplying heat, the melting point of the adhesive being between 100°C and 150°C.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass der reparierbare Fahrzeugschweinwerfer weiters Klemmmittel aufweist, mit denen das Adapterelement an dem Fahrzeugscheinwerfergehäuse festgeklemmt ist.In particular, it can be provided that the repairable vehicle headlight also has clamping means with which the adapter element is clamped to the vehicle headlight housing.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Adapterelement aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus Polypropylen PP oder Polybutylenterephthalat PBT besteht.Furthermore, it can be provided that the adapter element consists of plastic, in particular of polypropylene PP or polybutylene terephthalate PBT.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Adapterelement ein Spritzgussbauteil ist, das aus zwei Komponenten besteht, die aufeinandergeschichtet sind, wobei die zwei Komponenten unterschiedliche Elastizität aufweisen, wobei jene Komponente mit höherer Elastizität dem Scheinwerfergehäuse zugewandt ist und jene Komponente geringerer Elastizität der Abdeckscheibe zugewandt ist. Es kann hierfür z.B. TPE, also thermoplastische Weichkomponenten, bei dem Adapterelement eingesetzt werden.In particular, it can be provided that the adapter element is an injection-molded component that consists of two components that are layered on top of one another, the two components having different elasticity, the component with higher elasticity facing the headlight housing and the component with lower elasticity facing the cover pane. For example, TPE, i.e. thermoplastic soft components, can be used for the adapter element.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Adapterelement mit der Abdeckscheibe verklebt ist.Furthermore, it can be provided that the adapter element is glued to the cover plate.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Verkleben der Abdeckscheibe durch einen Silikonkleber, Polyurethankleber, oder silanmodifizierte Polymere gegeben ist.In particular, it can be provided that the cover pane is glued using a silicone adhesive, polyurethane adhesive, or silane-modified polymers.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Adapterelement und die Abdeckscheibe frei von daran oder darin angeordneten elektrischen Verbrauchern und elektrischen Leitungen sind.Furthermore, it can be provided that the adapter element and the cover disk are free of electrical consumers and electrical lines arranged on or in them.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das zumindest eine Designelement aus einem anderen Material als das Adapterelement besteht, wobei vorzugsweise jedes Designelement im Adapterelement verschraubt ist.In particular, it can be provided that the at least one design element consists of a different material than the adapter element, with each design element preferably being screwed into the adapter element.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass zwei oder mehr Designelemente vorgesehen sind, wobei die Form und die Größe der Designelemente dabei dergestalt gewählt ist, dass eine Projektion der Designelemente, gesehen in Richtung der Fahrzeuglängsachse, auf die Abdeckscheibe in Summe zumindest 20% der Fläche der Abdeckscheibe, vorzugsweise zumindest 30% der Fläche der Abdeckscheibe, erfasst.Provision can also be made for two or more design elements to be provided, with the shape and size of the design elements being selected in such a way that a projection of the design elements, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, onto the cover pane totals at least 20% of the surface of the cover pane , preferably at least 30% of the surface of the cover plate detected.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Hardcoating-Beschichtung der Abdeckscheibe aus siliziummodifizierten UV-aushärtenden Material besteht.In particular, it can be provided that the hard coating of the cover plate consists of silicon-modified UV-curing material.
Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Fahrzeugscheinwerfer zudem zumindest ein innerhalb des Scheinwerfergehäuses angeordnetes Lichtmodul zur Abstrahlung einer Lichtverteilung, wobei das Lichtmodul zumindest ein um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkbares optisch relevantes Bauteil umfasst, wobei durch Verschwenken des optisch relevanten Bauteils um die horizontale Achse die Leuchtweite des zumindest eine Lichtmoduls reguliert wird, wobei das zumindest eine Lichtmodul mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse zerstörungsfrei lösbar verbunden ist, und wobei das zumindest eine Lichtmodul eine Lichtaustrittsfläche zur Abgabe der Lichtverteilung aufweist, und zumindest eine Verstellvorrichtung umfasst, die dazu eingerichtet ist, das optisch relevante Bauteil um die horizontale Achse zu verschwenken.Furthermore, it can be provided that the vehicle headlight also has at least one light module arranged inside the headlight housing for emitting a light distribution, with the light module comprising at least one optically relevant component that can be pivoted about a horizontal axis, with pivoting of the optically relevant component about the horizontal axis increasing the headlight range of the at least one light module is regulated, with the at least one light module being connected to the headlight housing in a detachable manner in a non-destructive manner, and with the at least one light module having a light exit surface for emitting the light distribution, and comprising at least one adjustment device which is set up to move the optically relevant component around the to pivot horizontal axis.
Das Adapterelement ist fest und dichtend mit der Abdeckscheibe verbunden. Es ist nicht von der Abdeckscheibe zerstörungsfrei lösbar.The adapter element is firmly and sealingly connected to the cover plate. It cannot be detached from the cover plate without destroying it.
Ein optisch relevantes Bauteil beeinflusst die Ausbreitung von Licht, das entweder durch das optisch relevante Bauteil selbst emittiert wird, oder auf dieses auftrifft, wobei das optisch relevante Bauteil mit diesem auftreffenden Licht wechselwirkt, sodass das Licht von dem optisch relevanten Bauteil beispielsweise reflektiert, umgelenkt, projiziert, teilweise oder vollständig abgeschattet oder absorbiert wird. Als optisch relevantes Bauteil wird beispielsweise eine Lichtquelle, beispielsweise eine LED und/oder eine Laserlichtquelle, eine Blende oder Blendenanordnungen, ein Reflektor, eine Linse, insbesondere eine Projektionslinse, ein Lichtleiter, eine Dickwandoptik, ein Prisma, ein optisches Gitter, ein Spiegel, ein als DMD-Chip ausgebildetes MEMS-Bauteil, und/oder ein ganzes Lichtmodule bzw. Baugruppen umfassend solche Komponenten, etc. angesehen. Es können auch einzelne oder eine Mehrzahl dieser genannten Komponenten das optisch relevante Bauteil ausbilden. Das optisch relevante Bauteil kann beispielsweise in einem Tragrahmen gehaltert sein und/oder mit Hilfe eines Einstellsystems einstellbar sein, wobei das Einstellsystem hierzu beispielsweise an dem optisch relevanten Bauteil oder dem Tragrahmen angreifen kann.An optically relevant component affects the propagation of light that is either emitted by the optically relevant component itself or impinges on it, the optically relevant component interacting with this impinging light so that the light is reflected by the optically relevant component, for example, deflected, projected, partially or completely obscured or absorbed. A light source, for example an LED and/or a laser light source, a screen or screen arrangements, a reflector, a lens, in particular a Projection lens, a light guide, thick-wall optics, a prism, an optical grating, a mirror, a MEMS component designed as a DMD chip, and/or an entire light module or assembly comprising such components, etc. are considered. It is also possible for individual or a plurality of these components to form the optically relevant component. The optically relevant component can, for example, be held in a support frame and/or be adjustable with the aid of an adjustment system, the adjustment system being able to act on the optically relevant component or the support frame for this purpose, for example.
